VIEW IN MY ROOM
Time's the king of men; he's both their parent, and he is their grave, and gives them what he will, not what they crave. William Shakespeare This painting is a portrait of the ghost of a moment and the spirit of a space in time. In New York city, views come and go, buildings rise and fall. You can never paint Gotham, just moments. According to etymonline.com, the word spirit is derived from late 14 c. in alchemy as "volatile substance; distillate;" from c. 1500 as "substance capable of uniting the fixed and the volatile elements of the philosopher's stone." It's fun to look at New York city as "volatile substance" and the emerging and vanishing visual moments as the volatile elements of a city that is an alchemist's philosopher stone.

i quote the fictional Don Juan de Marco. There are only four questions of importance in life. Of what is the spirit made? What is sacred? What gives living meaning? For what would one give one's life? The answer to all 4 questions is the same... My paintings and drawings are the residue of my glance, the record of my attempt to perceive. But, if my intention is to see the whole of this world -- and it most certainly is -- then -- if i am going to be honest -- every one of my paintings and drawings is a failure, because I am only human, designed and destined for partial sight..
